Memon Yakubbhai Janmohmed and anr. Vs. State of Gujarat

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Aug-10-1988

Reported in: 1989CriLJ1843; (1989)2GLR862

1 to 6. xxxxx.The evidence of Rahimbhai and Yusufbhai is thus found to be acceptable as supported by the medical evidence and, therefore, we are inclined to agree with the learned trial Judge that the accused No. 1 gave two knife blows to the deceased and caused his death while accused No. 2 gave iron-pipe blow to Yusufbhai and caused him simple hurt. So far as accused No. 2 is concerned, it is obvious that he committed an offence punishable under Section 323 of the I.P. Code by giving a blow with an iron pipe to Yusufbhai. The question is as to what offence can be said to have been committed by the accused No. 1, Yakubbhai. The learned trial Judge has reached the conclusion that the incident was a sudden one in which the deceased was done to death by Yakubbhai and hence his act would be covered by Exception 4 to Section 300 of the I.P. Code. Exception 4 to Section 300 of the I.P. Code reads as follows:Exception 4 : Culpable homicide is not murder if it is committed without premeditati...

The petitioner Surajmal Kanaiyalal Soni was arrested on 7-3-1988 and the prosecution case against him is that he was found in possession of about 10 K.G. of opium at that time, which was seized under a Panchnama. The investigating officer, after completing the investigation, submitted a report to the Court of the Judicial Magistrate, First Class on 31-5-1988 under Section 173(2) of the Cr. P.C., 1973. Samples from the opium were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis, but the report from the said Laboratory was not received up to 31-5-1988 and, therefore, the report was submitted to the Court under Sub-section (2) of Section 173 without forwarding the report of the Forensic Science Laboratory. This was done because 90 days were to expire about two days after 31-5-1988. The petitioner then moved for bail before the Court to Sessions at Vadodara. The said Misc. Criminal Application No. 320 of 1988 was heared by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Varodara who...
